Dolphin ist ein Wii- und GameCube-Emulator für den PC. Mit ihm kann man legale Wii-Spielebackups auf dem PC in HD-Auflösung spielen. Für einen flüssigen Spielablauf erfordert der Emulator einen Dual Core Prozessor und eine gute 512MB Grafikkarte. Die genauen Systemanforderungen des Herstellers gibt es weiter unten.

 

Systemanforderungen:

- Windows XP oder höher, Linux oder Mac OS X
- Moderner Dual-Core Prozessor mit SSE2 und mindestens 2GHz
 - Gute ATI- oder nVidia GPU mit Pixelshader 2.0 oder höher. Intel GMAs werden nicht unterstützt.

v3.0

- Tons of bug fixes: This totally deserves to be a major point for this release. There's been roughly 2500 commits between 2.0 and this release, so there are REALLY too many changes to mention. All kinds of stuff from strange UI behavior, crashes, graphical glitches and other sorts of problems were fixed. For example, many games which didn't boot at all in Dolphin are working fine now.
- Improvements to the user interface: The configuration dialogs were restructured in a more sensible manner to ease emulator usage for new users. The video config dialog received a complete overhaul and features a description panel for each option now.
- Various feature additions: This release also features support for the Wiimote speaker, EFB format change emulation, a gfx debugger, audio dumping, and many other stuff
- Low level DSP emulation: Thanks to numerous fixes to the LLE emulator engine, audio emulation in Dolphin is close to perfect now (provided that one has the necessary DSP dumps of course)
- New API support: Added a D3D11 video backend and an XAudio2 audio backend
- Removal of the plugin interface: The 2.0 release already had seen the introduction of plugin rewrites; the new plugins have been brought to feature parity and replaced them so well, that we decided to merge all plugins the Core. Further improvements are better suited as additions in the current infrastructure since this architecture allows for a much better integration with the other parts of Dolphin.
- Translation support: Recently we introduced supporting for translating Dolphin into any language. However, due to a lack of well-done translations it was decided to only ship a set of eight translations (Arabic, Brazilian Portuguese, French, Greek, Hungarian, Portuguese, Spanish, Turkish) with Dolphin 3.0.
- Performance/Accuracy: There have been some performance optimizations (especially in the texture decoder), but generally speaking performance decreased in favor of more accurate hardware emulation.
- Building Dolphin: The Windows build uses MSVC 2010 now, Linux users should use the new CMake build system. OS X people still compile Dolphin via SCons.



v2.0 RC1

As Dolphin nears the first release since becoming open source software, we are hard at work to make it more stable. Now, we offer up "v2.0 RC1" for our faithful testers to try out and report back!

Unofficial SVN Build 5000:

a lot of modifications here
first fixed scaling when updating backbuffer to make it friendly with encoders, now frame dumping must work without errors in any codec. clean screenshot and frame dumping code now is more correct, faster and stable. improve safe texture cache, improving the distribution of the hash algorithm, including tlut hash in the final hash of the texture, and making use of a 64 bit
hash to make it more accurate. clean a lot of code and corrected some missused vertex formats when drawing full screen quads. and biggest change last: implemented pseudo antialiasing: a image post-process algorithm that mimics antialiazing and is fare more easier to implement in this scenario. you can change the intensity of the effect changing the values of the antialiasing combo. the right value depends on the game. for example mkwii looks awesome with 8x.
please try all the changes and let me know the results. if something is broken, please let me know and will fix it asap.

DSPLLE plugin:
More reversing done, more left to go

DSPHLE plugin:
Fix various games booting where they would hang before
Reversing and implementation of many of the more intricate behaviors of ucodes, expect better sound in most games.
